OVER DEZE PODCAST 🔗
Building Real is about how things actually get built—companies, restaurants, labs, careers, and side projects—without the highlight reel gloss.
Each episode is a real, unscripted conversation with someone in the middle of building: founders, operators, educators, scientists, restaurateurs, investors, and people quietly doing important work.
We talk through the doubts, trade‑offs, and decisions that never make it into funding announcements or LinkedIn posts. You’ll hear how guests find problems worth working on, test ideas, hire (or don’t), manage money and time, and deal with failure, burnout, and luck along the way.
If you’re building something yourself—or thinking about it—you’ll get practical insight into product, markets, teams, and personal resilience, told through specific stories rather than generic advice. No scripts, no manufactured drama, no “five hacks”; just the process of how it actually happens, one builder at a time.
